Official Program 

HUDSON-FULTON 
CELEBRATION 




I HE HUDSOX-FULTON CELEBRA- 
TION will take place along the Hudson 
River and throughout the State of New 
York from Saturday, September 25, to 
Saturday, October g, 1909. The Cele- 
bration, with respect to the ceremonies 
and the magnitude of the population in 
whose presence they will be enacted, will be the most 
brilliant of its kind that has ever been held in America. 

HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMIS- 
SION. — The Celebration has been ])lanned by and is in 
charge of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, 
consisting of seven hundred and fifty prominent citizens ap- 
pointed by the Governor of the State of New York and the 
Mayor of the City of New York, and incorporated by iha]> 
ter 325 of the laws of 1906 of the State of New York. 
Its membership includes the Mayors of all the forty-seven 
cities of the State and the Presidents of thirty-eight incor- 
porated villages along the Hudson River. Its alTairs are 
conducted by a Board of Trustees, consisting of the 
Mayors of the forty-seven cities and two hundred other 
members, and more than forty committees embracing 
the entire membership of the Commission. 

CITIZENS' COMMITTEES.— Cooperating with the 
official Commission in the City of New York are five large 
Citizens' Committees, one for each Borough, and in the 
cities and villages along the Hudson north of New York 
are similar Citizens' Committees. These Citizens' Com- 
mittees enlist the cooperation of about five thousand 
prominent citizens of the State. 

EVENTS COMMEMORATED.— The purpose of 
tlie Hudson-Fulton Celebration is to commemorate the 
three-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Hud- 
son River by Henry Hudson in the Dutch ship Half Moon 
in 1609, and the one-hundredth anniversary of the first 
successful application of steam to the navigation of the 
river by Robert Fulton with the Clermont in 1807. The 



postponement of the celebration of the centenary of steam 
navigation from 1907 to 1909, in order that it might be 
combined with the celebration of the tercentenary of 
Hudson's vovage, was deemed advisable for the reason 
that the two historic events occurred on the same river, 
and their anniversaries come so close together as to 
make separate commemorations upon any large scale 
ine.\pedient. 

SIGNIFICANCE.— The discovery of the Hudson 
River and the successful application of steam to navigation 
were events of State, National and International impor- 
tance. The former brought to the knowledge of Europe 
and opened up to ci\ihzation the great river to which, more 
than any other single natural factor, is due the greatness of 
New York as the Empire State and New York City as the 
Metropolis of the New World. The other has given to all 
the navigable waters of the earth a value which they did not 
previously possess, has reduced the width of the ocean, in 
point of time, to one-si.xth its former distance, and has pro- 
moted the neighborliness of nations to a degree that cannot 
be estimated. 

SCOPE.— The plans for the Celcbiation of the notable 
historical events to be commemorated have been formu- 
lated with a view to their International, National, State and 
local significance. 

INTERNATIONAL. — Every nation which is ac- 
credited to the United States Government has been in- 
vited to send a special delegate to the Celebration in 
addition to its diplomatic representative at Washington, 
and every maritime power has been invited, in addition, 
to send naval vessels. The result will be the greatest 
convention of the navies of the world ever seen in Ameri- 
can waters. (Sec also Halj Moon.) 

NATIONAL. — The presence of Federal troops, of 
vessels from the United States Navy and of distinguished 
Civil Officers will mark the Nation's part in the Cele- 
bration. 



INTERSTATE.— New Jersey and New York have 
much in common in their geographical, historical, social 
and commercial relations. Fifteen prominent citizens of 
New Jersey were appointed members of the Commission by 
Governor Hughes on nomination of Governor Stokes, and 
the citizens of the New Jersey cities and towns along the 
Hudson River have formulated plans for taking part in 
and enhancing tlie effect of the New York Celebration by 
a])propriate illuminations and displaj's. 

STATE. — Commemorative exercises will be held in all 
the universities, colleges, schools, and by learned societies 
throughout the State, to make due observance of the events 
and thus to emphasize the State phase of the Celebration. 

HUDSON VALLEY. — At every principal commu- 
nity in the Hudson Riyer Valley, from New York to the 
head of navigation, there will be local celebrations of 
great beauty and interest, beginning on Friday, October i, 
at Newburgh, and continuing successively at different 
places until Saturday, October 9. The celebration at 
Cohoes on October lo-ii is also officially recognized. 



NEW YORK CITY.— In New York City the Cele- 
bration will be continuous from Saturday, September 25, 
to Saturday, October 2, and some events have been 
crowded over into the following week. The features ar- 
ranged for and described in the detailed program are 
designed not only to be of unique attractiveness but also 
to have a lasting educational value. 

APPROPRIATIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS.— 

For the purposes of the Celebration the State of 
New York has appropriated $475,000 and the City 
of New York $250,000. In addition to these public 
funds, about $500,000 additional has been subscribed 
in New York City and the cities and villages north- 
ward. 

FREE TO THE PUBLIC— The Celebration will, 
above all, be a People's Celebration, and has been so 
planned that all may enjoy and take part in it without pay- 
ment of fee or charge for admission to any feature pro- 
duced with public funds. 



PRINCIPAL FEATURES 



AERONAUTICS.— An aeronautical display will be 
held in which many inventors of airships will take part. 
One feature will be a contest for a prize of $10,000 offered 
by the New York World for the aeronaut who, in a me- 
chanically propelled airship, sails over the course from 
New York to Afcany traversed by Fulton's first steam- 
boat in 1807. 

AQUATIC SPORTS.— A(|uatic sports on the Hudson 
River will be features on several days — opposite New 
York, Yonkers, and at Newburgh — and will include 
friendly competition between the crews of American and 
foreign naval vessels, motor-boat races and other appro- 
priate water games and amusements. 

ART AND HISTORICAL EXHIBITS. E.xhibi 

tions will be held during the entire time of the Celebration 
by all the prominent museums, and by many historical, 
scientific, literary and similar societies. Admission to all 
will be free.

banquet will be given in honor of the distinguished visit-

tions of all nationalities. On Saturday evening, October 
2, in Manhattan Borough, and on Saturday evening, 
October 9, in Brooklyn Borough, there will be brilliant 



Carnival Parades, consisting of floats bearing allegorical 
tableaux. The chief participants in the Carnival Parades

During the week beginning Monday, October 4, tlie 
Historical Floats will be used in similar parades in the 
cities north of New York. The Carnival and Historical 
Parades in New York City have been designed to exceed 
in beauty and interest the most famous parades of the 
kind in Europe or America. 

CHILDREN'S FESTIVALS.— Children will take an 
important part in the Celebration on two days in New 
York City. Wednesday, September 29, will be devoted 
to indoor exercises, and Saturday, October 2, will be de- 
voted to outdoor festivals, games and a Carnival of Play 
in public and private parks and playgrounds. 

CLERMONT. — An exact reproduction of the Clermont, 
the steamboat with which Robert Fulton first successfully 
navigated the Hudson River, has been made and will be 
an object of great popular interest and educational value 
in the Water Parade from New York to the head of 
na\ igalion.

York and other cities along the Hudson River will exceed

OFFICIAL INSIGNIA 



BADGE.— The Official Badge of the Commission will be 
worn only by members of the Commission, their Official 
Guests, their Official Aides, and the officially appointed Citi- 
zens' Committees. No replica oj it in any size or metal will 
he sold to the public and infringements will 
I c prosecuted at law. 

The Commissioner's Badge consists 
.li a horizontal bar bearing the word 
■■Commissioner," a ribbon of three col- 
ors — orange, white and blue — attached 
to the bar, a medallion suspended from 
the ribbon, and back of all a broad blue 
ribbon. Officers will be distinguished by 
gold fringe on the bottom of the back rib- 
bon. When a committeeman is in action 
the blue ribbon will be replaced by a 
white ribbon. 

Official Guests wilVwear the same badge 
as Commissioners, except that the bar will 
bear the word "Guest" and the back rib- 
bon will be gold colored. The badge of the 
Official Aides will bear the word "Aide" 
on the bar and will have no back ribbon. 
The badge of the Citizens' Committees will 
have the°words "Citizens' Committee" on 
the bar and will have no back ribbon. 
The design of the badge medallion, which 
was modeled by Chester Beach, is as follows: 

Obverse, portrait heads of Hudson and Fulton; m the 
margin the legends: "Henry Hudson, 1609," "Robert Fulton 
1807." Under the portraits: "1909." Reverse, the draped 
standing classical figure of a woman representing "Progress," 
holding in her right hand a model of the Halj Moon and m 
her left a model of the Clermont, in the margin the legend: 
"Hudson-Fulton Celebration." 

FLAG.— The official flag consists of a horizontal tri- 
color of orange, white and light blue, reading from top 
to bottom. In the mid- 
dle of the white stripe, 
within a green wreath, are 
the initials "HF" in red. 
The orange, white and 
blue are the Dutch colors 
under which Hudson 
sailed in 1609. The pub- 
lic is permitted to use the 
official flag, and can 
purchase it from any 





authorized manufacturer or dealer. 

MEDAL.— For its commemorative medal the Commis- 
sion with the cooperation of the American Numismatic 
Society, adopted the design of Mr. Emil Fuchs, the eminent 
medalist, sculptor and painter. The obverse of the medal 
is devoted to the Hudson Commemoration. The central and 
main design represents, inboard of the Halj Moon, Henry 
Hudson and a group of six sailors watching the heaving of 
the lead. In the background is a suggestion of the scenery 
of the Hudson River. In the margin are the legends: 
"Discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson, A.D., 
MDCIX," "The American Numismatic Society," and "Hud- 
son-Fulton Celebration Commission," divided by a small 
representation of the Halj Moon, the seal of the American 
Numismatic Society, the seal of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration 
Commission, an astrolabe, a jackstaff and a sextant. 







Upon the reverse the Fulton idea is treated with a classical 
design, consisting of three seated, draped female figures. The 
central figure holds in her lap a model 
of the Clermont, and represents the 
Genius of Steam Navigation. The fig- 
ure at her right rests one hand on an 
anchor and represents Commerce, while 
the figiire at her left holds a pen and 
scroll, representing History. Upon a 
tablet in the central background, be- 
tween two col- 
umns, is a por- 
OBVERSi; j^^jj pf p^jton, 

made after West's painting, surrounded 
by a wreath. Under the portrait are 
the name and dates: "Robert Fulton, 
1 765-1815." In the de.xter background 
is a view of New York from the Hudson 
River in 1807, and in the sinister back- 
ground a recent view of the same. At KbvtKsn. 
the bottom of the design is the legend: 

" First Use of Steam in Navigation on the Hudson River, 1807." 

Replicas oj the official medal, in a size and metal different jrom 

those oj the medals oj the Commissioners, will he sold to the public. 

POSTER.— The Official Poster, designed by E. H. 
BlashUeld, represents a standing figure draped in white and 
wearing a winged hat, personi- 
fying the Spirit of Progress. 
In her right hand she holds a 
model of the Halj Moon and 
in her left a model of the 
Clermont. In the background 
at her right, under the date 
1609, stands a figure repre- 
senting Hudson, and in a cor- 
responding position at her left, 
under the date 1807, stands 
a figure representing Fulton. 
At the top are the words: 
"Hudson-Fulton Celebration," 
and at the bottom the dates, 
"September 25 to October 9, 
1909." 

POSTAGE STAMP.— The Commemorative Postage Stamp 
issued by the United States Post Office Department is oblong in 
shape, seven-eighths of an inch high and one and three-quarters 
long. Only one other postage stamp issued by the Government 
has°equalled it in size— namely, the Columbian stamp. In the 
border at the top are the words " Hudson-Fuhon Celebration," 
with the dates "1609" and "1909." Below this inscription, in a 
curved line, appear the words "U. S. Postage." At the bottom, 
on each side, prominently appears the Arabic number "2," with 
the words "Two Cents " in a panel between the figures. In the 
center of the design is a view of the Hudson River, showing the 
Palisades in the background. Upon the river, at the left side, 
is represented Hudson's ship, the Halj Moon, and in a corre- 
sponding position at the right side is depicted Fulton's steam- 
boat, the Clermont. In the foreground is an Indian in a canoe, 
and in the distance, just discernible, is a canoe with four other 
Indians. The canoes represent the earliest form of navigation 
on the river. The stamp is to be printed in the same color as 
the ordinary two-cent stamp. The design is considered the 
most artistic that the philatelic artists of the Government have 
ever produced. Fifty millions of these stamps have been printed. 




OFFICIAL PROGRAM 



Saturday, September T^^enty-fiftk 



NAVAL RENDEZVOUS.— The Hudson-Fulton Cele- 
bration will open on Saturday, September 25, 1909, by the 
formal recognition of the presence of the American and Foreign 
Naval Vessels and Official Guests. The International Naval 
Fleet, the ve.ssels of which will have arrived on or prior to the 
25th, will be anchored in the Hudson River opjjosite the City 
of New York from Forty- second street northward. The 
Commission has already received advices of the presence of the 
following vessels: 

United States. 16 battleships, 3 armored cruisers, 3 scout 
cruisers, 12 tor])eclo boats, 4 submarines, 2 parent ships (Dixie 
and Castinc)., i tender {Yankton), 2 supply ships (Celtic and 
Cidgod), I repair ship (Panther), i torpedo vessel (Montgomery), 
I tug {Potomac), and 7 colliers (Abarenda, Brutus, Hannibal, 
Lebanon, Leonidas, Marcel! us and Sterling). Total, 53 ; under 
command of Rear-Admiral Seaton Schroeder, U.S.N. In 
striking contrast with the powerful warships will be the replica 
of the Clermont, the steamboat with which Robert Fulton 
inaugurated steam navigation upon the Hudson River in 1807. 
This vessel, built by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commis- 
sion, is but 150 feet long and 18 feet wide. 

The Netherlands will be represented by Her Majesty's 
Ship Utrecht, under command of Capt. G. P. van Hecking 
Colenbrander, R. N. N., and by the replica of the little ship 
Halj Moon, in which Henry Hudson explored the river in i6og.

HISTORICAL PARADE 

BorougL of Mantattan: Tuesday, Septemter 28 — 1 P. M. 
Borougn or Brooklyn: Friday, Octoter 1 — 1 P.M. 

AMONG the forms of instructive commemoration arranged by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission the Historical Parade will be one of 
the most notable. It will depict, upon moving vehicles called "floats," important events in the history of New York State. Beautiful, 
graphic and instructive in themselves, they will also stimulate study of the connecting events in the great historical chain of which the events 
depicted form a part. 

The floats will be in four divisions, representing, respectively, the Indian, Dutch, Colonial or British, and American Periods. 
In depicting important scenes in these four periods, the Commission has aimed not only to present a spectacle which will be memorable, but also 
to give an impetus to historical research and to present historic scenes so that they will impress themselves more clearly on the minds of the spectators 
than could be done by books and pictures. 

The work of building the floats has been going on in New York City for many months, and has required the services of all kinds of artists and 
artisans. The artist most familiar with this kind of work was summoned to design the pageant, and for about a year nearly two hundred workmen at 
a time have been engaged on the actual construction. 

The general plan and every detail of the floats and costumes have undergone the critical scrutiny of the Commission's Historical Committee, 
which has commanded the services of the best historical and archeological authorities in the City of New York. 

The Historical Parade will be composed as toUo^vs, witn oands or music interspersed : 



Mounted and Unmounted Police 

Grand Marshal Maj.-Gen. Charles F. Roe and Staff

this locality — implements of stone and bone, weapons, food 
products obtained from old fireplaces, potsherds, and household 
articles generally — have been installed. To demonstrate more 
clearly primitive processes of manufacture, series have been

pot. In this archeological portion of the e.xhibit the model of a 
rock shelter is particularly noteworthy. Secondly, there is an

Iroquois costumes, and there is an ample representation of the 
articles used by them in daily life, such as pots and other imple-

THE OLD CLERMONT BELL 



itN INTERESTING souvenir of the present Hudson- 
J^ Fulton Celebration is shown here, in the old bell of the 
steamboat Clermont when she made her first trip up the 
Hudson River. The bell is in existence and is 
now owned by the Hudson River Day Line, 
which corporation purchased it June 30 of this 
year. 

It came to light in the spring of 1908 in 
Boston, where it had been neglected for many 
years. It was secured by the late Mr. Edgar 
K. Betts, of Troy, after having been fully 
authenticated, and has been restored as nearly 
as possible and will be installed on the dupli- 
cate of Fulton's original Clermont during the 
IIudson-Fulton ceremonies. 

When the steamboat Clermont was broken 
up after having seen several years' sen-ice, dur- 
ing which time it was lengthened and renamed the North River, 
the bell was saved. In 1865 it was sold at auction in Newburgh 
to George Merrill. On Mr. Merrill's death it passed into the 




possession of Mary West, of Holbrook, Mass., and from her to 
her son. On the latter's removal to Philadelphia it was sold 
with his household goods. Mr. Betts finally purchased it in 

Boston, in April, 1908, and took it to Troy. 

After Mr. Betts'sdeath it became the property of 
the Hudson River Day Line, and will ordinarilv 
be displayed on the Robert Fulton, of that line. 
The old bell is shown in some early en- 
gravings mounted nearly midships on the deck 
of the Clermont, just forward of the smoke- 
stack. The bell, which is pictured here, flares 
wide at the bottom, being about eighteen inches 
across, and with its base stands about tv.-enty- 
four inches high. It hangs from a cun-ed a.xle 
Ijctween cast-iron standards, and a handle on 
one side is used for ringing it. 

In those days the steam whistle and fog horn 
were as yet unknown and the bell had to perform the double 
duty of signaling aboard and announcing the approach of the 
boat to the various towns and hamlets where she made a landing.
